Term Name:	gene conversion at mating-type locus
Synonyms:	gene conversion at mating-type locus, DNA double-strand break formation, gene conversion at mating-type locus, DNA double-strand break processing, gene conversion at mating-type locus, DNA repair synthesis, gene conversion at mating-type locus, termination of copy-synthesis, heteroduplex formation involved in gene conversion at mating-type locus, strand invasion involved in gene conversion at mating-type locus
Definition:	The conversion of the mating-type locus from one allele to another resulting from the recombinational repair of a site-specific double-strand break at the mating-type locus with information from a silent donor sequence. There is no reciprocal exchange of information because the mating-type locus copies information from the donor sequence and the donor sequence remains unchanged.
